That idiot was originally taken in by Liu Jindong, who was still the flag officer of the border army at that time.
At that time, he was a swordsman in a caravan, but he got a sap on his head during a fight and became stupid.
Later, for some reason, I couldn't find the caravan wandering around Datong Town.
Because Liu Jindong was ordered to arrest beggars and refugees to deal with Shangguan Dianmao, he captured the two fools and brought him to the army.
Later, of course, Liu Jindong discovered that Erluozi could withstand beatings, so he stayed with him as a soldier. Now five or six years have passed, and his relationship has been resolved.
He kowtowed and begged, "Sir, please stop hitting me. If you hit me again, I'll break it! You idiot, don't be so stubborn! Please give in quickly!"
At this moment, Huang Yi's posture was similar to that of an American policeman kneeling down to kill a gangster, but instead of saying, "I can't breathe," the man who was being pressed shouted, "I won't accept even if I'm beaten to death!"
At this time, the scarred face started to curse, and he spat: "I obviously won the fight alone, but you only have to be stubborn! Hurry up and get angry, otherwise we brothers will join forces and guarantee that you will be defeated." Can’t eat!”
It seemed that Scarzi had done this kind of thing before. The fool had been tortured before. When he heard that he might have no food to eat, the idiot immediately became scared and immediately shouted: "I've taken it!"
Exun Zhaqin, Yu Shaoshan and others all cheered: "My lord is mighty! The Xinghe army is mighty!"
All the cavalry soldiers shouted in unison: "Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"
Liu Jindong suddenly had a dazzling illusion, as if he had returned to the border army camp again.
I remember that he was also a good man back then. He often fought against the Tatars and made many military exploits. He was promoted from a leading soldier to a corps commander, then to a small flag, and finally to the general flag.
However, since the Chongzhen period, the treatment of the border troops has become worse and worse, and the soldiers have complained one by one.
Finally, on the winter night of the second year of Chongzhen's reign, when he was hungry and had to be transferred frequently, it broke out.
Impulse is the devil! In that mutiny, dozens of senior officers were killed by the rebels.
As a result, he, a former low-level officer in the border army, was reduced to a horse bandit. He was unable to return to his hometown and could not enter his ancestral graves after his death.
Liu Jindong always regretted the past when he thought about it. He hated those civil servants who did not regard soldiers as human beings, and hated the superior officials who drank the blood of soldiers.
I saw such a vigorous Xinghe Army today, and I couldn't help but yearn for it.
"Surrender and avoid death. Those who have performed meritorious service will be recruited into the Xinghe Army. Now you have the opportunity to perform meritorious service. You must seize it!"
Liu Jindong, whose thoughts were in confusion, suddenly heard the voice, calmed down, and looked over. The speaker had the sun behind him, as if he was enlightened by a god covered with Buddha's light.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Liu Jindong kowtowed to the ground and said hurriedly: "Sir, I hope to be your subordinate, I want to make meritorious deeds!"
"Tell me about your situation!"
"The young man was originally from Datong, Shanxi. He joined the army in the third year of Tianqi. When he served as king in the second year of Chongzhen, the army mutinied and he had no choice but to become a bandit..."
"Well, I won't look into your past, only the present and the future."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, sir!"
"You are the second in command of Xue Mazi's bandit gang. You should know how to wipe out the gang with minimal casualties!"
"The little one is willing to be a pioneer!"
There were many benefits to Liu Jindong's surrender. It only took half a day for Xinghe's troops to take down several checkpoints of Xue Mazi's gang without any blood and appear directly outside the cottage gate!
At this time, the Xinghe Army had captured the forty and fifty-year-old men from Xue Mazi's gang.
Liu Jindong, Scar Zi, Er Lengzi and others originally planned to trick Xue Mazi into opening the village gate.
It's a pity that the old bandit has a keen sense of smell and has long sensed danger. The gate of the village has always been a confidant, and Xue Mazi came to visit several times a day.
Liu Jindong's several tricks to deceive the city were easily seen through, so he simply shouted to persuade them to surrender.
However, Xue Mazi was a master who would not shed tears until he saw the coffin. He did not care about the support of the people and was prepared to fight with a strong fortress.
When the Xinghe Army failed to persuade them to surrender, they began to attack the enemy. The first was of course shelling.
The twenty-four regimental guns fired only one salvo at a distance of 300 steps, and the resistance of Xue Mazi's gang collapsed.
Internal strife ensued.
The fifth master, the seventh master, etc. are also from the frontier army, hoping to be exempted from crime and return to their hometowns in their lifetime.
They intended to capture Xue Mazi for meritorious service, and fought with Xue Mazi, the third master, and more than twenty of their henchmen!
The inside of the village was in chaos. Except for the seven or eight minions who were killed by shelling, no one else dared to stay on the wall.
Xinghejun, who did not bring a ladder, resorted to throwing a lasso and climbing with his bare hands.
It was a bit dangerous to do this. In order to reduce casualties, Huang Yi personally picked up the loaded mini gun and aimed it at the top of the wall.
Zhang Dong, Bao Zhide and other musketeers who can shoot accurately, and sixty archers who use steel-arm pulley bows and pulley crossbows are always ready.
However, Huang Yi's worries were unnecessary. The thieves' stronghold fell into a melee, and no one was in charge of the defense.
In a short time, more than a dozen warriors who were originally mountain people climbed up the wall of the village.
Next, of course, the villages were opened, and the Xinghe Army swarmed in...
The Ming army all reported military merits with their heads, and the Xinghe army was no exception. However, the Xinghe army was obviously different from other Ming armies. They would never kill good people and take credit for their merits.
In this battle, the number of thieves below Xue Mazi was eighty-six, more than 8,000 stones of grain were seized, and the gold and silver treasures seized were worth no less than 80,000 taels of silver.
The total number of people in Xue Mazi's gang is close to 5,000, and they only have 8,000 shi of food in stock, which will definitely not last until next autumn.
Xue Mazi also adopted a differentiated approach. Only the elite young and middle-aged people could eat enough. The young women and children of the minions basically only had two meals of porridge a day.
Huang Yi issued an order to let bygones be bygones, and selected 360 young and middle-aged men with decent combat skills and decent riding skills from Xue Mazi's gang to be included in the auxiliary army.
Liu Jindong, Scar Zi, Er Lengzi and other twenty-four young and middle-aged men who were skilled in bow and horse were specially approved to become regular soldiers of the Xinghe Army.
Accepting the bet, Erluzi was left in the Guards to pour the chamber pot, but he had no resentment because as a regular soldier in the Xinghe Army, he couldn't eat meat every day. He could still eat it every other day.
Huang Yi's main purpose in suppressing the bandits was to obtain money and food.
The protective umbrella of Xue Mazi's gang is in trouble.
Wang Kun, the chief eunuch of the Supervisory Army, almost cried with excitement.
For more than half a month, Wang Kun, Diao Debao, and Li Laifu have been marching and doing chores every day, sleeping later than dogs and getting up earlier than chickens.
The three of them wore mandarin duck jackets, ate grain pancakes, and drank soup. They couldn't eat more than four ounces of meat for three days.
Suddenly, Wang Kun received the task of personally arresting and interrogating seven big landowners and squires who were colluding with bandits, and he once again put on the python robe given by the emperor.
Huang Yi told Wang Kunming that the Xinghe Army had wiped out a giant bandit that was entrenched in central Jin and discovered several large families who had colluded with the giant bandit.
Next, Wang Kun led the Jinyi Guards and Xinghe Camp soldiers to ransack homes and arrest people!
It is still based on the consistent principle of asking for money rather than life!
Wang Kun was asked to investigate the case of banditry thoroughly and make it a solid case before the court.
